chanel vitalumiere aqua

I recently indugled in some make up retail therapy and the product I was most excited to try out was the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation by Chanel. I say foundation but really it's a mixture of a skin tint and highlighter yet has good coverage. I've been loving swapping my usual heavy foundation for this, it's made me embrace a lighter hand with my make up and my skin has been looking much better for it. I like to apply concealer to my problem areas then use a buffer brush to blend the foundation into my skin and finish with a dusting of powder. I have typically dry skin so the dewy finish that this gives my skin is perfect, but probably a product to stick away from if you have considerably oily skin. I'm also a big fan of the simple and lightweight packaging, I barey notice when it's in my make up bag unlike the clunky glass bottles of other foundations. The product also has a built in fragrance meaning it smells fresh and uplifting on application, it's only subtle though as to not be overpowering. It's worked out to be one of the best foundations that I've ever used, if your foundation routine needs a bit of a revamp definitely head to a Chanel counter and ask for a sample to try it out. If you want to see what it looks like on the skin then have a look at a few of my previous posts as I'm wearing it on those.

I'd love to try the Vitalumière Aqua foundation! I've heard amazing things about it. I'm currently still using my Chanel Pro Lumière foundation, which has sadly been discontinued, just like all the other great products Chanel has :(

I've been neglecting this foundation for a while now.. It's a lovely natural looking one.. But apparently the amount of alcohol it contains can dry out your skin if used everyday.. I recently picked up Givenchy Eclat Matissime which is sorta the same concept and I'm really enjoying that..
